BA ING AND noas'rme AP LIANCE;

Amine-aunties a 14,1927, .Serial mr i ib nt invention relates to a baking',

and roast-ing appliance in which a casserole and a deep baking mould,; 'for instance. a pound cake mould, are so constructedand adapted-$011 1 one j. another, that they can be placed directly one upon the other in the one or other reversed order according to requirements, and be used in this way. Roast-ing or baking can therefore be carried out in one or other of these appliances as desired, and the other upper appliance can be used as a cover to prevent the heat escaping. A separate cover, which cannot be used otherwise, thus becomes superfluousand the appliance while capable of being used for many purposes,

is simplified in construction. The accompanying drawing. illustrates a constructional exampleof the invention, Figure 1 showing a vertical section, Figure 2 an elevation of the appliance with its parts in reversed position,Figure 3 a part of a roasting grid belonging to the appliance and Flgure 4 a part of a cake tin.

' In the arrangement according to Figure l,

a casserole c with inlet passage 03, forming a continuation of the passage 6 is mounted on the base a provided with a central passage 6 for the passage of the heating gases. Th s casserole has at the top an outwardly d1- rected ledge e, on which for instance a cake tin f provided with an upper edge flange m can be placed. In order to enable the heating gases to rise, the edge flange of this cake tin is perforated (Fig. 4). v The ledge 6 has aboveit a cylindrical part 9 provided with slots h. In this part g a pound cake mouldi engages my means of a cylindrical part is, this mould resting by means of a flanged ed e lupon the upper edge of part 9. Part k is provided with slots of thesame length andat the same level as the slots h in part 9. By turning the pound cake mould on the part g, the slots on both sides can be brought 1nto register with one another to any desired extent or be completely covered, as required by the purpose for which the appliance is to be used at the time.

Figure 2 shows the 'reverse position of casserole c and pound cake mould 2', as used when baking is to be carried out in the latter. The mould is then supported in the position usual for this purpose: on the base a and the casserole c rests with part 9 on the edge Z of the mould i and serves as a cover to retain the heat above.

baking. mould can. of course be used in" place The appliance hereinbei'ore described and illustrated while possessingia ininimunrnumberof partshas numerous".possibilities of use and enables a good utilization of the heating gases in whatever way it may be employed. a The escape of the gases from the apparatus can be checked if desired by p'lac- .ing a suitable cover on the upper outlet aperture or by aflixing a cap on the inner end of the tubular passage in the upper receptacle.

- What I claim is:

1. In a baking androasting appliance the detachable combination of a casserole and a I deep baking mould fitting one within another along their circumference when these receptacles face one another, both receptacles being adapted to be used alternatively for holding the. substance to be cooked whilst the otherat the same time serves to retain the heating gases inan adjustable measure, a canal for the heating gases formed of tubular projections of the two receptacles extending in either position of use of the appliance from bottom to top thereof but being. interrupted at the height of the joint of the two receptacles, openings being provided in the joining parts of'the receptacles adapted to be brought to register in the required extentand to be fully covered by the guiding part of the other receptacle. j

2. A baking and roastingdevice' comprising a pan and a high baking mould engaging one with another on their open sides by means of circumferential guidingparts, a space being left in axial direction between the free edge of the inner of these guiding parts and a circumferential ledge of the other receptacle, 2. central tubular part extending from the bottom of each of said receptacles towardsthe other-but without reaching the plane of said ledge, a relatively low pan with flat, unperforated bottom and provided with a perforated edge flange adaptedto be supported by said ledge in one position of the device and by the opposite edge of the other receptacle in the reversed positionof the device, each time in such a manner as to permit the hot gases rising from the tubular part of the lower receptacle to pass the perloo 'iorations in the edge flange of the low pan and to enter into the upper receptacle.

3. Ina cooking device comprising two receptacles each o'fwhich is adapted. foruse in the preparation ofa food when either is 5 which is formed with an outset rim spaced from its marginal edge; one of the "marginal edges of one receptacle adeptedto telescgpe withinthe marginal edge of the other, the edge ofisthe outside recepteelezengagmg the from the inset rim inf l the rfiust receptacle;
